Breeding for a shiny starter
 
So is anyone else breeding for a shiny Torchic/Treecko/Mudkip to bring into their OR/AS games at launch?

I think I'm going to start breeding for a shiny Treecko with perfect IVs and the ability Unburden.

Hikamaru October 2nd, 2014 8:03 PM

I'm not one who tries to breed shinies, especially given how much effort has to go into it. Even moreso when one wants perfect IVs and hidden abilities. Also, as I only have one 3DS I cannot trade in 6th Gen right now.

Fair enough. I plan on using Pokebank though.

Lauren92 October 2nd, 2014 10:57 PM

I wonder if they'll limit when we're able to trade or access the bank somehow, like they have in previous games.

I never breed for shiny Pokémon. I'm way too lazy for that.
For me breeding perfect IVs is a pain, and something that takes a lot of patience.

I'm not intending to breed anything for ORAS either. I just want to play a good old Nuzlocke Challenge.

Katunei999 October 20th, 2014 7:19 AM

I've already got my shiny Mudkip hatched and ready to go :)

I'm still going to use the in-game starter, though.

skyluigi2 October 20th, 2014 10:03 AM

Nah, with starters I tend to go with what I get.
Besides, all Mudkips are perfect anyway

She_Delphox October 21st, 2014 9:15 AM

I'm actually breeding for a shiny Mudkip for a while now, and I already got a shiny Torchic..
but I will still use the original starter I'll pick in Alpha Sapphire anyway ^_^

Escorian October 21st, 2014 4:19 PM

I have a pc box full of level 1 shiny pokemon I was planning on building up for competitive play but was too lazy to so I guess I will transfer one or 2 of them over.

EagleVision1999 October 21st, 2014 4:34 PM

I wasn't planning on breeding starters, but I recieved a shiny Mudkip through Wondertrade. I might use it as a starter since I already have it, especially since it has a nickname that fits my usual naming pattern.

Lol, i've got 12 boxes full of flawless level 1 shiny pokemon i was planning to use competitively too...

Not much interested in shiny starters, I'm actually shiny breeding for other team members - have my shiny Zangoose, next up I'm going for a shiny Poochyena. Those are the shinies I want the most for my first team.

Centipede Chan November 1st, 2014 6:20 PM

I am currently going for a shiny competitive Treecko. Gotta love Mega Sceptile.

Caite-chan November 2nd, 2014 5:12 AM

I'm pretty sure I already have a shiny Mudkip in my X. I've never started with a water type so this might be a good time to try it. As for stats I never really got into that so I doubt I'll do it this time.

lmcde22 November 2nd, 2014 5:40 AM

Yeah I already have a shiny Treecko in my Pokemon Y game so I am considering sending that over. I doubt i will play through the story with it though, I prefer to use the starter i get and then i will use my flawless ones for competitive battles later on, I think.

TwilightBlade November 2nd, 2014 9:35 AM

I want to use the in-game starter, but I'm fine with transferring in my shinies that I've never used. I have a shiny Poochyena and a Pidgey I've caught in 3rd gen post-game that never saw the light of day... It only took 10 years to use them.

I'm stoked to transfer the shiny Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza that I got myself.

I love shinies as much as the next trainer but I'm waaaayyyy too impatient to breed for a shiny starter lol. Good luck with breeding for your shiny though!

εcho. November 19th, 2014 11:05 AM

Not a shiny starter, but I just hatched a perfect Shiny Vulpix that I plan to trade into Alpha Sapphire for my playthrough.

Z25 November 19th, 2014 11:21 AM

I am breeding for a shiny treecko with no luck yet. Hope to have it today as i plan on getting the remakes at midnight release.

Disolia November 19th, 2014 12:14 PM

The task of breeding a shiny at the start of a game seems unnecessarily complex for me. So, instead I will keep my initial starter as is and worry about such things after I have completed the game.

GhostTrainer November 19th, 2014 2:44 PM

Not going to bother breeding for a shiny starter. I am however going to breed my Blaziken to get two Torchics. That way I can send them over to ORAS.

BakingBluePotatoe November 19th, 2014 3:02 PM

Well, I got an Absol and Torchic that I hatched the TSV way. once I get my game, probably Alpha Sapphire, I'm picking Torchic, and trading those 2 in as soon as possible!

ArcanineWithABow November 19th, 2014 6:03 PM

Lol I have to be the laziest one here.

I am too lazy to breed shinies. I am too lazy to breed for perfect ivs.

The only thing I do is breed for the right nature and characteristic, then I be like okay...and pray as it is leveling up (after EV training) that it's stats will turn out great.

Then by time it is at level 50, it is a good indication of how it's lvl 100 stats will be, and if they are 10 off from the max attack, special attack, defense, etc that I want, meh, I'll still keep it. As long as it looks like it has like 20 evs.

I get attached to the Pokemon lol, like people, they aren't going to be perfect lol. Accept them as they are.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE November 19th, 2014 6:50 PM

Honestly it's something I thought about but then I remembered that I'm going with Treecko and to me his normal colour palette suits it way better (his Mega colours are also PERFECTION!!) so I won't be doing that, although I might have a go breeding for other members of my team on X for a while until ORAS comes out :)

Pendraflare November 20th, 2014 1:27 PM

Now, I do like these starters, but there is NO WAY I would try to put my time into going for something that impractical. At least not this late in the year when I have so much work to take care of outside of here...

She_Delphox November 21st, 2014 8:19 AM

OMG yes! I seriously jumped outta my chair because I literally just hatched my dear Shiny Mudkip! :D <3 I wanted one for ages but never bothered to Soft Reset back in R/S/E because I never had the patience as a kid xD

Took me 137 Eggs, and it's a female (OMG), Hidden Ability Damp (no items used though) and with Egg Moves: Mirror Coat, Curse, Growl and Whirlpool and she has a Quiet nature :D ^_^ Lol I am way too hyped now, I still have to wait for a week to get Alpha Sapphire since I live in Europe, but even though I will use the original picked Mudkip in the beginning, I will transfer this one over as well eventually to ORAS :D

Treecko is next on my list I guess, since I already have all Kanto starters shiny, shiny Blaziken and now Mudkip :) I set a goal for myself to get the Shiny Mudkip BEFORE obtaining Alpha Sapphire though, luckily it did, but Treecko doesn't have as much priority even though I want one too eventually (like his colours as a shiny).

To all others out there hunting for a shiny starter; good luck! Keep it up! ;)

She_Delphox November 23rd, 2014 5:31 AM

Another update: just hatched a Shiny Treecko! ^_^ :D Omg so happy, since I think Treecko's shiny colours are so awesome too. :) It's a female, Serious nature (don't care that much for nature though) and Overgrow as an ability. Took me 165 Eggs this time! :)

This Friday I already hatched my Shiny Mudkip (actually the post above lol), but I figured since I'm still waiting for ORAS to come out, I wanted to get Shiny Treecko too after I obtained my Shiny Mudkip! ^_^ Omg it all worked out perfectly!

Probably I'm going to put up breeding for a Shiny Trapinch next! ;)

Nusdogg November 23rd, 2014 6:40 AM

I got all three starters in their shiny forms with perfect 6IVs in the game now.
